Yet of those nine players, only two — Knight and Camper — are right shots.

All three of the Bruins’ other three lines (assuming Paille stays with the Merlot Line) features a mix of shots, and the idea of having three lefties on one line might not be super appetizing.

Then again, some of the left-shooting wingers have experience playing right wing. Smith was a left-shot right wing in college and split last season between right and left wing, while Caron has played a decent amount of his off wing in the NHL. Julien said Friday that he would indeed consider having a line of three players of the same handedness.

“You work with what you got,” Julien said. “It’s not the end of the world and you have to make due with what you have and in way, what is the best scenario. I know Jordan’s played a lot of the right side, he played that in Juniors, I know he’s played that in Providence as well, we’ve used him there a few times, so it’s not like Jordan’s not capable of playing on the right side.

“Then there’s Smith, another guy that we got from Dallas that is having a really good camp. And on the left side, Fraser is one of those guys that we can’t over look either. And that’s why I think down the road with some of those other guys from Providence, we’re going to have some tough decisions to make.”
